The objective of this study was to develop and validate an automated acquisition system to assess quality of care (QC) measures for cardiovascular diseases. This system combining searching and retrieval algorithms was designed to extract QC measures from electronic discharge notes and to estimate the attainment rates to the current standards of care. It was developed on the patients with ST-seg...

In this paper, we describe the trellis coding where quantum computing (QC) is employed to analyze the coding gain and complexity. According to quantum information theory, quantum bits increase the storage capacity as well as speed. High complex trellis based on partial memory code (PUM) is designed and simulated in digital computers. In order to reduce simulation time for trellis decoding, QC i...

Software development project employs some Quality Control (QC) process to detect and remove defects. The final quality of the delivered software depends on the effort spent on all the QC stages. Given a quality goal, different combinations of efforts for the different QC stages may lead to the same goal. In this paper we address the problem of allocating resources to the different QC stages, su...

The project concerned the study of quantum correlations (QC) in compound systems, i.e. statistical correlations more general than entanglement which are predicted by quantum mechanics but not described in any classical scenario. I aimed to understand the technical and operational properties of the measures of QC, their interplay with entanglement quantifiers and the experimental accessibility. ...

BACKGROUND The traditional measure used to evaluate QC performance is the probability of rejecting an analytical run that contains a critical out-of-control error condition. The probability of rejecting an analytical run, however, is not affected by changes in QC-testing frequency. A different performance measure is necessary to assess the impact of the frequency of QC testing. METHODS I used...

The aim of the present study was to investigate the anticancer effect of quercetin (QC) in the human lung cancer cell line A-549 and further study the mechanism of apoptosis induction by QC. Low differentiation potential A-549 human lung cancer cells were treated with QC at different doses and for different times, and the growth inhibitory rates were detected by MTT assay. Apoptosis induced by ...
